Dwayne Johnson listened to the voice of the fans and turned heel, as confirmed by his recent promo at SmackDown. In the promo, he not only dissed Cody Rhodes but also the fans at the Delta Centre. He also dropped subtle hints at turning on Roman Reigns while keeping a straight face advocating him. However, the fans were smart enough to pick up on the cues from The Rock.
Five hints thrown by The Rock hinting at turning on Roman Reigns

2. Cody is a loser: In the recent episode of SmackDown, Roman Reigns announced the official inclusion of The Rock into The Bloodline. During the segment, The Rock pointed at Roman while saying Cody was going to be the loser at WrestleMania. His finger pointing towards Reigns could indicate that he was referring to Reigns losing at WrestleMania.
3. The Rock puts up a wrong sign: The Rock was a part of the main event in the recent episode of SmackDown. However, during the closing minutes of the segment, he showed a loser sign instead of the bloodline ‘one’ to drop another hint. While The Bloodline’s sign involves pointing the index finger towards the sky, The Rock pointed the index finger with an open thumb.
